What's the truth behind Netflix's Stranger Things? In this epic episode, Craig and Andy get to the bottom of the sinister conspiracy theory that inspired the show: the Montauk Project. They venture into a world of alleged secret government experiments, psychic children, and time travel, a journey that also includes a detour into the bizarre Philadelphia Experiment and the horrifying accounts of the Montauk Boys. The Wyrdo's cover the wildest parts of the lore—including a mission to Mars for Jesus's blood—before concluding with a critical look at the very real and ethically murky programs like Operation Paperclip and MKUltra.
- Stranger Things Primer: The Wyrdo's give a quick rundown of the show for anyone not familiar with the Upside Down, the Demogorgon, or Eleven's psychokinetic powers.
- The Montauk & Philadelphia Experiments: They delve into the conspiracy theory of secret government experiments at Camp Hero and its connection to the legendary disappearing ship.
- The Alleged Funding: Craig and Andy explore the wild claim that the Montauk Project was funded by a train full of Nazi gold.
- The Montauk Chair & The Montauk Boys: The hosts explore the disturbing allegations of a mind-reading device and the horrifying claims of abducted children used in time travel and psychological warfare.
- A Time Travel Mission: They recount one of the most outlandish claims from the lore: a mission to travel through time and space to retrieve Christ's blood.
- The Final Sabotage: They detail the alleged end of the Montauk Project, which supposedly involved a monster from Duncan's subconscious.
- Reality vs. Conspiracy: The Wyrdo's conclude by discussing alternative theories and the disturbing allegations of abuse against the key figure behind the conspiracy, as well as the real-world history of Operation Paperclip and MKUltra.
